Special Traits
- Sprout Clone. When a vine abductor has had a victim in its vines for more than a day, it can effectively clone that creature, growing a full duplicate of that creature. The creature is obviously green and a plant, if the original was of another creature type. The duplicate creature also has a maximum of 5 in its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores if the original had scores higher than that, and the creature does not have the ability to speak or understand language. If the original creature had any spellcasting abilities, those abilities do not transfer to the duplicate. Finally, the duplicate is immune to the charmed, deafened, frightened, paralyzed, and poisoned conditions. Creating a new duplicate takes an hour of time, but up to 5 duplicates small or medium sized duplicates, or up to 2 huge sized duplicates, can exist per vine abductor.
